Two armed home invasions. One bad guy shot in the eye ...

An accused robber shot in the eye by a homeowner is in the hospital and his alleged accomplices are in custody in connection with two home invasions in northwest Harris County over night, said Lt. Rolf Nelson with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators are looking into whether the two incidents are related. In both — one happened around 10 p.m. followed by another around 2:30 a.m. — three men kicked in the doors of residences.

In the first attempted robbery, at an apartment in the 15900 block of FM 529, the men kicked in the door and shot a dog inside. They fled when they heard police sirens. In the second incident, at a home in the 11900 block of Madison Oak, three men kicked in the door before the homeowner shot one of them, Nelson said. A short while later, three men, one of them shot, arrived at Cy-Fair Hospital.

They should change there ways now that they have had a near death experience.

An intelligent person would, but if these are average criminals with a bunch of home invasions under their belts I wouldn't hold my breath. Recidivism lives on. Though maybe the guy that was shot in the eye will "see the error of his ways".
